Ahh cool the Nationals has its own thread!!! lol. For so long we been talking about it in here, so many people just used to it lol.

I really hope **** finish subbing it. Even though i watched the **** ones, the quality isnt as good as the **** subbed episodes. Licensing it is bad!!!! Although good, cause i may be able to get merchandise easier now lol. Bring on the Seigaku Jersey!!!! lol

But Seigaku *is* Seishun. The school's name is Seishun Gakuen (translated to Seishun Academy), and "Seigaku" is formed by taking the first kanji from each word:

青春学園 －＞ 青学

It is true but the fact that they won't call them "Seigaku" when "Seigaku" is obviously their nickname is annoying. It's written EVERYWHERE so it probably confuses the hell out of first-time readers who are wondering why all the uniforms say Seigaku instead of Seishun.

And to scream "Go Seishun! Hooray for Seishun" just sounds really lame. XD It's something Oishi would say... "aah, seishun ~ " ... Seishun means youth by the way, so it makes the team seem cooler being called Seigaku...

It's just weird that Viz keeps trying so hard to not confuse readers by "Americanizing" things, but all they end up doing is confusing people MORE. T_T Dumb Viz.

Oh, no, I agree. The complete aversion to "Seigaku" seems a bit... too much. But I'm just saying calling them "Seishun" is by no means a mistake so much as it is a slightly awkward preference, since that *is* the name of the school.

The official website for the live-action Prince of Tennis movie opened it's "special" section today. So click here to see it. It's a short interview with Shirota Yuu (the actor who plays Tezuka Kunimitsu in the movie). More interviews will be added on the dates indicated at the bottom.

The wallpapers section was also opened, featuring wallpapers of the main characters.

The interview is cool. Anyone on here know japanese lol. Would be better if i actually knew what he was saying, but the what the hell its related to PoT lol.

Waiting for the Fuji Wallpaper!!! Cant wait lol. Who is the guy after Tezuka wallpaper? He is in the trailer too, swinging his racket like its a ninja sword. That move looks good, but i really dont know who it is lol

The original character is Egate McCleod Higaki. He and his sister (Shion Higaki) will be original characters for the movie. He is on Hyoutei's team (like HELL he looks like a middle schooler...). I think he takes the place of the Hyoutei regular Hiyoshi, so Hiyoshi won't be in the movie.

Egate's profile according to the official site (I'm sorry for my crappy translations, as always @_@):
"He studied abroad in South America after dropping out of Seigaku due to a violence-related incident. He is now Hyoutei's trump card.

His special move is the Hissatsu (certain-kill) Flame Shot, which shoots a strong and destructive ball."

The profile of his sister, Shion Higaki:

"She is Egate Mcleod Higaki's shy but kindhearted younger sister. Ever since the death of her parents, she lost her voice. She finds herself captivated by something about Ryoma..."

Ahaha, a Japanese popstar is playing a mute character... oh the irony... ^_^;

More info is on the "characters" page of the official site. Everyone looks okay except for Atobe, Oshitari, and Gakuto. T_T The Oshitari and Gakuto were the best part of the Hyoutei musical, but these new ones just... bleh. The Oshitari isn't pretty at all, and Gakuto looks absolutely NOTHING like his anime/manga counterpart. Oshitari doesn't look lazy/sexy and Gakuto doesn't look small and whiny and angry and cute... it's wrong. TT_TT
